Mau tanya tentang Mesin Scanner Cepat

 
3-4 tahun lalu, saya pernah ikut seminar ttg document management yg diselenggarakan canon.
untuk entry levelnya, sekitar 25 jt kl gak salah. Kurang tahu, masih ada gak yg sekarang..
 
Coba cari keyword 'document management' untuk hal ini.
Saya kurang tahu, apakah mesin scanner cepat ini akan di pergunakan sbg hardware dari document management yg saya pikirkan. cmiiw...
 
Yg saya pernah tahu, HP ada line khusus utk document management.
 
Trus coba canon, dgn imageware nya.
 
kl document management,  malah setahu saya ukurannya spt mesin printer kantoran. Kecil, tp kecepatan scanningnya bs sampe 20-30 sheet per minutenya. 
Tp disini yg penting solusi softwarenya yg terintegrated. Untuk berbagi pakai dgn para user2 lain di tingkat network/corporate.
 
Semoga membantu..
 
Salam,

Above the Rest: Windows 2008's Terminal Services Client
One shining gem you can't ignore in the new Windows Server 2008 OS --
one which might compel you to upgrade -- is the implementation of
Terminal Services.

December 2007 * by Greg Shields

Windows Server 2008 is coming. By year's end this update to our core
Server operating system should be ready for deployment. As a function of
the five-year delay between this and our last server OS, Microsoft has
had plenty of time to work on a host of new feature sets. But, there is
one in particular that rises above the rest and has the potential for
driving the most immediate desire to upgrade: Terminal Services.

But before we start talking about what's new and exciting in the
server-side of Terminal Services, we need to spend a little talk talking
about its client and the new functionality already available within. The
new Remote Desktop Client version 6.0 actually isn't all that new,
having been released with Windows Vista. But, there are a few features
of RDC 6.0 you may not be aware of.

-- advertisement --

New Client = New Features
Other than the obvious facelift to its graphical interface, RDC has
gotten quite a bit more useful. In the previous version, the ActiveX and
full-client instances were two separate tools with two separate
installations. Now with RDC 6.0, these two functionalities have been
merged. Integrating the web-based client version with the full client
version means administrators no longer need to consider separate
installation and management of two different tools. The integration of
these two tool sets means that.RDP files on file shares as well as
web-based hosting of published desktops and applications are now
supported from the same client installation.

RDC also sports a host of new improvements in the types of devices it
can bring from the remote server to the local client. Some of those
improvements include:

* Maximum screen resolution increase to 4096x2048
* Maximum color depth increase to 32-bit color
* Support for ClearType fonts (called "font smoothing")
* Support for connected USB and other peripheral devices
* Support for Single Sign-On
* Support for spanning multiple horizontally-connected monitors
using the "/span" switch
* Enhanced security using Network Location Awareness (we'll discuss
this further in the next post)
* Ability to use client-side themes in remoted sessions
* SSL-based security using TS Gateway (we'll also talk about this in
a later post)

Each of these new visual and security-based improvements makes RDC 6.0 a
compelling upgrade, even before Server 2008 makes its debut.

Reversing Bad Security
From a security perspective, the original RDC's design was actually
backwards from what is considered good security.

Think about how you connect to a pre-W2008 Terminal Server. You enter
the name of the server and a connection is initiated to its logon
screen. Then, once you hit that logon screen you begin the process to
authenticate. From a security perspective, this isn't a good idea. By
doing it in this manner, you're actually accessing a server prior to
authenticating to it. This is the reverse of how nearly all other
network services provide authentication security.

NLA, or Network Level Authentication with RDC 6.0, reverses the order in
which a client attempts to connect. If you've used the new client,
you've probably noticed how it asks for your username and password
before it takes you to the logon screen. If you're attempting to connect
to a pre-W2008 server, a failure in that initial logon will fail back to
the old login process. But where this new feature shines is when
connecting to Windows Vista and W2008 servers with NLA configured. Here,
that failback authentication can be prevented from ever occurring. This
prevents the bad guys from gaining console access to your server without
a successful authentication.

You can set up Network Level Authentication in Vista and W2008 by right
clicking on Computer and choosing Properties, then selecting Remote
Settings. Under Remote Desktop, ensure Allow connections only from
computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication (more
secure).

Accessing the Console
Every previous version of Terminal Server -- and indeed every previous
version of Windows -- reserved "Session ID 0" as the connection used
when the user is directly on the console of the machine. Reserving this
session in this way was easy for software installations that pushed
error messages to the console session. But it also added the potential
for misuse as a vector for exploit. In W2008, "Session ID 0" is no
longer a session that can be used by normal users. Instead, it is the
session where system services reside. By limiting session connections in
this way, the security profile of the Terminal Server is enhanced.

What is different, though, about making this change is that what
administrators used to think of as the "console session" can now be tied
to any session ID number. The command

mstsc.exe {servername} /console

can be used to connect the user to session ID 0 for those older O/S
versions. Using the same switch with Vista and W2008, RDC 6.0 will now
automatically connect to the correct console session.

Where this comes in particularly handy is when servers run out of
licenses. Using RDC to connect to the console session doesn't consume a
TS CAL. So, in addition to being able to install software through
terminal services directly on the console, you can also use this feature
to remotely troubleshoot a Terminal Server that has stopped accepting
new connections.

Because of how this change in connections to Session ID 0 has been done,
there is one major difference between how W2003 and W2008 handle the
acceptance of incoming connections: You get one fewer concurrent
connection.

W2008 supports a total of two rather than three concurrent connections
in Remote Administration mode. With W2003, a server would support two
TermServ connections in addition to the console connection. With W2008,
a server will only accept two concurrent connections, no matter if
they're at the console or via TermServices.

This seems like bad news at first blush, but there's a bit of good news
to go with it. With W2008 the third user who attempts to connect now
gets an opportunity to kick off another user. Once the third user
connects, they'll be asked if they want to disconnect one of the other
users instead of our old error message, "The terminal server has
exceeded the maximum number of allowed connections."

All of these features are currently supported with the new RDC, which
comes native with Vista. But for those of us with XP SP2 clients on the
network, a free download from Microsoft is available that will allow you
can take advantage of these feature upgrades as well. Download the
upgrade to RDC 6.0 here.

Office 2007 SP1 Surprise -- OS/2: Dead OS Walking

Office 2007 emang banyak bug nya.
Masih sering crash kata temen2..
Untung SP1 nya udah di keluarin.
Sharing yaa... Masih banyak errornya gak ?


Gue baru tau kl OS2 nya IBM itu udah discontinue alias udah di stop
sejak desember 2006
:)


SURPRISE! OFFICE 2007 SP1 ARRIVES EARLY
In a welcome change, Microsoft actually delivered earlier than
expected the first service pack (SP1) for the 2007 Office System.
http://redmondmag.com/news/article.asp?editorialsid=9331

SP1's improvements, which were in direct response to customer
complaints, concentrated on performance, stability and security
across desktop applications and servers. Some of the improvements
include support for deploying AJAX so developers can better create
customized Web parts for users; better management capabilities so IT
admins can better consolidate or repartition site collections across
SharePoint databases; performance improvements to Outlook 2007,
particularly in working with PST/OST files; and feature improvements
in performance and stability in working with Project 2007 and
Project Server 2007.

"We think SP1 provides the stability and performance improvements
that key in on customers' productivity concerns, and beefs up
security precautions in order to stay ahead of the latest threats
from malicious software and other risks," said Reed Shaffner,
Microsoft's Office product manager. "Crashes are one of the most
frustrating experiences customers have, and the team worked hard
with SP1 to make our products more stable."

More information about the improvements contained in SP1 can be
found here:

DEAD OS WALKING
While IBM officially discontinued support of its long-suffering OS/2
operating systems in December 2006 (I know that to many, it seems
like it's been years), there are still those zealots out there who
keep trying to open its crypt.

The latest attempt comes from OS2World.com, a seven-year-old site
founded by Kim Haverblad, that serves as a source for the latest
news about OS/2, along with a number of technical forums where IT
pros, third-party developers and other longtime loyalists can
exchange information and ideas about the product. Haverblad and
friends petitioned IBM last month again (the first time was in 2005)
to make the "much-loved OS/2 technology" freely available by taking
it open source.

http://www.os2world.com/petition

The group acknowledges that there are inherent problems with IBM
doing this because of the third-party code still stitched in the
product. But, to that end, the group says it's willing to "contribute
its own efforts" if it will convince IBM to release the code. The
petition goes on to say that making OS/2 open source would prove
beneficial to Big Blue's larger customers. Another more subjective
reason for making the decision is "that OS/2 is an important part
of the history of the operating system and, furthermore, it still
contains values that the computer science field considers unique."
Hmm, OK. Well, there's a lot of room for debate on that one.

There have been many attempts by different groups over the years to
bring OS/2 back to life: large corporations -- most notably banks --
that are heavily invested in the product, hardcore user groups, and
vocal and influential individuals. None of these grassroots lobbying
efforts got very far, though.

OS/2 was certainly an admirable undertaking in its day, racking up
more than a few technology firsts for a 32-bit desktop operating
system. But it was too chunky to run well on the vast majority of
desktop systems back then, and was poorly positioned as a product.
(It should've been positioned as a high-end workstation OS, and not
as a direct competitor to Windows. Remember the "Better Windows
than Windows" campaign?)

But looking at all the time and money spent on getting Windows Vista
to market -- and all the criticisms leveled at it from every quarter
in its first year of availability -- it makes you wonder what sort
of product OS/2 would be today if IBM and Microsoft had worked
cooperatively on it over the past 17 years. I have to believe that
the state-of-the-art in desktop operating systems would be much more
evolved today than what we see in Vista.

It's way too late for OS/2 to make any sort of real comeback now,
but by making the product available to the open source community,
there's no telling what ideas and projects could spring up, resulting
in inexpensive but practical solutions for at least some IT shops.
Given IBM's already substantial contributions to the open source
community, maybe it should give the folks at OS2World.com a call
and see what sort of arrangements can be worked out. And if anyone
out there can show me where I can either download a copy of the latest
version or how I can get my hands on a CD, let me know at
escannell@redmondmag.com. Even though I haven't written a story on
OS/2 since May 2000, I'm curious to see what sort of laps it can
still run.

Sharing satellite subscription card

WHAT IS CARDSHARING?

Cardsharing is a method to use one satellite subscription card with more than one satellite receiver You have in a same time.

is a term used concerning unauthorised access to premium television channels on (mostly digital) television receivers, that do not have physical access to a smartcard. There are both illegal and legal versions of cardsharing. However, both versions are considered to be television piracy by the broadcasters and content providers.

As technology has made the security of smartcards in conditional access systems increase, card sharing has become a more popular method of pirate decryption. Much of the development of card sharing hardware and software has taken place in Europe where national boundaries mean that home users are able to receive satellite television signals from many countries but are unable to legally subscribe to them due to licensing restrictions on broadcasters.

Card sharing is a method by which independent receivers obtain simultaneous access to a pay television network, using one legitimate conditional access subscription card. Typically, the legitimate card is attached to a personal computer or set top box typically Triple-Dragon or Dreambox, which is connected to a computer network, including the internet, and is configured to provide the legitimately decrypted control word to other receivers who request the information. This decrypted control word is then used to decode an encrypted conditional access service, as though each other receiver were using its own subscription card.

Because the length of the control word is so small (often 16 bytes), delivery of the control words over wide area networks to many different set top boxes is easily possible on a home internet connection. This has sparked off the creation of sharing network groups, in which a user can access the group by sharing their subscription card with the group, and in turn, being capable of receiving the channels which all users' cards can decrypt, as though the user owned every single subscription card. Other networks have also been created, whereby one server has multiple legitimate subscription cards connected to it. Access to this server is then restricted to those who pay the server's owner their own subscription fee.

Another use for card sharing has become apparent as Europe migrates from analog to digital tv. As the tv signal turns digital, a digital set top box is needed for each TV in the household. Each set top box normally needs to have its own smart card in order to be able to decrypt premium channels. Most pay-tv providers (but not all) offers extra subscription cards to subscribers for a reduced fee compared to the original first card. The extra cards usually come with more restrictions than the first card, such as certain channels excluded from being decrypted by any card except the (more expensive) first one. This practice is mostly dictated by the content providers (tv networks) and poses a problem from a consumer rights perspective, as the subscribers are essentially forced to paying for the same channels twice, whereas in the analog world the channels would be unlocked on every TV in the household with only one fee. In order to avoid paying for the same content twice, many subscribers use card sharing to share their single smartcard among all the receivers in their households, arguing that it is just fair use. This practice can in some cases mean a breach of the contract between the subscriber and the content provider. It is however not an illegal activity, since the subscriber pays for the smartcard and the smartcard is only used within the subscriber's own household.

Card sharing has caused major concern to the conditional access subscription card manufacturers, and their respective pay-tv companies, since virtually every encryption system can be shared, allowing unauthorised access. Unlike the hacking of smart cards, card sharing is relatively new, thanks to the recent increase in home internet speeds. Conditional access providers therefore have few counter measures to combat its use. One such method, used by several providers, is to greatly increase the frequency of changing the control word, used to decode the channel. With changing occurring as frequently as once every 5 seconds, this puts extra stress onto the subscription cards processor, meaning that clients are frustrated by short, but frequent, missed viewing, making viewing possible, but with extreme inconvenience. In response to this, card sharing servers have appeared that caches control words in order to prevent overloading of the smartcards processor if the same code word is requested more than once.

The future of card sharing is unknown, because it is equally unclear how widespread its use is. Many conditional access providers may see it unworthy to produce new cards to send to all subscribers, as their manufacturing costs are too high. Most probably also realize that and the additional "security" will eventually be circumvented anyways. The latest Irdeto cards for example, have been produced in a way by which card sharing seemed not possible, but now they can be shared again.

What is cardsharing?

Cardsharing is a method to use one satellite subscription card with more than one satellite receivers in a same time. With cardsharing, your digital receiver gets the keys via the Internet or LAN from another location, instead from your local smartcard. This mean, You can use your smartcard with all your satellite receivers in a same time. Why to buy two or more subscriptions for the same package, if You want to watch these channels on more than one receiver? Your family doesn't like the program You are watching? Install a LAN in your house, and connect all your receivers to the cardsharing network! Enjoy!

This site tries to cover these systems, to collect the current cardsharing techniques and make them available online.

What I need to use it?

You will need the following components:

DVB Receiver; it can be a PCI card (like SkyStar 1 or 2) or a set top box called DBox or DreamBox
A permanent LAN or WAN connection to your cardserver host
A valid account on the cardserver host
Installed client plugins on the receiver systems

SkyStar 2 or similar PCI card based systems are not as professional like DBox, but they offer more functionality.

DBox means the best solution for people who need high quality and high reliability. It is equipped with Ethernet port, so You can connect it your computer, ADSL modems etc.

Which TV channels can I follow using this method?

You can watch every scrambled TV channels if You have connection to the proper cardsharing server.

VISTA have built in RMS client.

RMS topic was dedicated to help solve my friend, Syahrul's problem. Below article was taken from Microsoft as refer by him.


Rights Management Services

To facilitate sharing and collaboration, the Rights Management Services (RMS) client is now part of Windows Vista. RMS is designed to secure data against unauthorized use when it is sent in e-mail or used in any other rights-enabled application, such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel®. There are three components to the RMS solution: the server, the desktop, and the platform. For the server part of this equation, Windows Rights Management Services for Windows Server™ 2003 is required. This information protection service of Windows Server 2003 establishes user account certificates, issues use licenses, enables the creation and storage of the rights policy templates, and so on.

The desktop tier performs the actual data security operations like encrypting data, and is planned for inclusion by default on Windows Vista. This allows you to use applications that integrate with RMS technologies and immediately take advantage of the feature without incurring the cost of an additional deployment.

Windows Vista also provides a significant update in the RMS platform for creating rights-protected information. This update comes in the form of Windows Presentation Foundation, which delivers a set of APIs that allows developers to rights-enable any file built using the Open Packaging Conventions. This defines a file format for application information that will be used by XML Paper Specification (XPS) Documents and the next version of Office. Windows Vista will also include an RMS-enabled XPS Viewer that can rights-protect any data published in this format.

RMS Price

Overview
Windows Rights Management Services (RMS) 1.0 Service with Pack 2 (SP2) for Microsoft Windows Server 2003, a security service for Windows Server 2003, is information protection that works with RMS-enabled applications to help safeguard digital information from unauthorized use – both online and offline, inside and outside of the firewall. For more information about RMS SP2, please go to www.microsoft.com/rms.

Since this server component is provided as a premium service for Windows Server 2003, a Windows RMS Client Access License (CAL) is required for each user publishing and/or consuming Rights Management Services (RMS)-protected content. However, up to two users may simultaneously access or use RMS solely for administration of the software without a CAL. For more details on licensing requirements, please review the End User License Agreement when downloading this premium service.

Although RMS is designed for and tested with database servers running SQL Server 2000 and MSDE, and Microsoft does not support the usage of RMS together with a database provider other than either SQL Server 2000, SQL Server 2005 or MSDE, RMS can be run on other database servers that use the ADO.NET interfaces that are provided by the Microsoft .NET Framework. Therefore, other database vendors may have developed compatible database providers for RMS. You may use any database provider together with RMS on the condition that the corresponding database server complies with the following criteria:


* The database server must be Transact-SQL compliant because RMS initialization scripts and RMS stored procedures use Transact-SQL.

* The database server must support any Microsoft SQL Server-specific extensions.

Windows Rights Management Services Pricing and Licensing: Frequently Asked Questions

Taken from microsoft website :
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/techinfo/overview/rmsplfaq.mspx


Q. Under what circumstances do I need an RMS CAL?
A. An RMS CAL is required for each user or device that interacts with (e.g. creates or views) rights-protected information within an organization's rights management environment.



Q. Do I need an RMS CAL if I'm only viewing rights-protected information?
A. Yes. An RMS CAL is required any time a user creates or views a rights-protected document, e-mail message, or HTML content. RMS validates that the user has permission to view the rights-protected information by connecting to the RMS server, verifying the user's credentials and issuing a "usage license."



Q. If I am licensed for Microsoft Office 2003, do I need an RMS CAL?
A. Yes. An RMS CAL is required because RMS licensing requirements are not related to the use of Microsoft Office or any other RMS-enabled application.



Q. If I have paid for the RMS CAL to enable Microsoft Office 2003 Information Rights Management (IRM) features and then I license another RMS-enabled application that uses Rights Management Services, do I have to pay for another RMS CAL?
A. No. One RMS CAL per user or device fulfills the licensing requirement for accessing or using the RMS server within the given rights management domain. The RMS CAL supports an unlimited number of RMS-enabled applications.



Q. If I have a Windows Server 2003 Client Access License (Windows CAL), do I still need an RMS CAL?
A. Yes. An RMS CAL is required. A Windows CAL fulfills the licensing requirement to access and use the Windows Server software. RMS is an additional premium service of Windows Server 2003, so if you use RMS functionality, an RMS CAL is required. This requirement is similar to the way in which Terminal Services, another premium service, is licensed.



Q. If I am licensed for the Core CAL, do I need an RMS CAL?
A. Yes. An RMS CAL is required. The RMS CAL is not part of the Core CAL. However, Microsoft is extending special pricing for Core CAL Software Assurance customers to acquire the RMS CAL plus Software Assurance. Contact your local volume licensing reseller for more information on the promotion.



Q. If I want to send a rights-protected document to someone outside of my organization, what are the licensing requirements?
A. To enable rights-protected viewing outside your organization, you can acquire a Windows Server 2003 External Connector License and an RMS External Connector License for each RMS server that your external users will access. This fulfills the RMS licensing requirements, so you do not have to purchase individual Windows CALs and RMS CALs for each external user.

An external user means any person (not an organization) who is not any of the following:
• your full-time, part-time, or temporary employee;
• agency temporary personnel or independent contractor on assignment at your worksite; or
• your customer to whom you provide hosted services with the server software.



Q. If both my company and my business partner's company have RMS CALs for our respective rights management environments, are we licensed to exchange rights-protected documents between our organizations?
A. No. The RMS CAL only grants you access to your respective RMS environment. Since your company is external to your business partner's company and vice versa, both a Windows Server External Connector (EC) license and RMS EC license are required for each RMS server that your partner's company will access.

In other words, you (Company A) must have Windows Server and RMS EC licenses for your partner (Company B) to legally access rights-protected documents created from within your company. Likewise, your business partner (Company B) must have Windows Server and RMS EC licenses for you (Company A) to legally access rights-protected documents created by your partner.

Alternatively, you may purchase individual Windows Server and RMS CALs for each of your partners' users and vice versa. Any time an external user touches a given domain's server (i.e. your partner accesses a document protected by your server, or you access a document protected by your partner's server), the user or device must be licensed either by an EC or a CAL. The licensee of the RMS server must properly license both internal and external access to that instance of RMS.



Q. Are there any exceptions to the RMS licensing requirements?
A. Yes. For Microsoft Office 2003 users, there is a free trial Information Rights Management (IRM) service available for customers who do not have Windows Server 2003. This service enables users to share documents and messages with restricted permission by using Microsoft .NET Passport as the authentication mechanism, as opposed to Active Directory directory service. If information is rights-protected using the Microsoft .NET Passport service, CALs are not required. To learn more, visit IRM in Microsoft Office 2003.



Q. RMS is on the October price lists. Why can't I find the software media in the October Volume License (VL) kit?
A. RMS software media will be delivered in a future VL kit even though the product will appear on the October price lists. Since RMS will be available for download via the Internet sometime in late October, it appears on the October price lists.



Q. How much does an RMS CAL cost?
A. For complete pricing information, please review the RMS Pricing and Licensing Overview page.



Q. Is there a difference in price for the RMS User CAL and the RMS Device CAL?
A. No. The price for the RMS User CAL and RMS Device CAL is the same. For complete pricing information, please review the RMS Pricing and Licensing Overview page.



Q. How can I try RMS?
A. You can try RMS for up to 180 days without purchasing RMS CALs. To do this, you must install the RMS Server on top of an evaluation copy of Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition. The evaluation copy of Windows Server 2003 automatically expires in 180 days. The RMS Server does not have an expiration.



Q. Do I need to buy RMS CALs to try RMS?
A. No. You can try RMS for up to 180 days without purchasing CALs.



Q. What do I do at the end of 180 days?
A. At any time during the evaluation period or at the end of 180 days, the evaluation copy of Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition can be converted into a production server by either purchasing a full license for Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, or by applying an existing license to the RMS server. At that time, you must also purchase RMS CALs for every user or device that is creating or consuming rights-protected content.



Q. Where can I get an evaluation copy of Windows Server 2003?
A. The Windows Server 2003 R2 trial software can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/evaluation/trial/default.mspx.

Review : Open Source IP PBX (note : FREE)

Welcome to the world of open source, where solution comes for free..

My online friends recommend me about another product today, an IP PBX solution. He ask me to go to http://www.asterisk.org/

What is exactly IP PBX ??
PBX or Private Branch eXchange (it also known as PABX : Private Automatic Branch eXchange).

Taken from SearchVoip.COm : http://searchvoip.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid66_gci214278,00.html

A PBX (private branch exchange) is a telephone system within an enterprise that switches calls between enterprise users on local lines while allowing all users to share a certain number of external phone lines. The main purpose of a PBX is to save the cost of requiring a line for each user to the telephone company's central office.

The PBX is owned and operated by the enterprise rather than the telephone company (which may be a supplier or service provider, however). Private branch exchanges used analog technology originally. Today, PBXs use digital technology (digital signals are converted to analog for outside calls on the local loop using plain old telephone service).


Asterisk, as they say, is the most popular and extensible open source telephone system in the world, offering flexibility, functionality and features not available in advanced, high-end (high-cost) proprietary business systems. Asterisk is a complete IP PBX (private branch exchange) for businesses, and can be downloaded for free.

Yup completely free. Welcome to the opensource where everything is free...


But...
Yup, for every ultimate solution, there is always but. But we need hardware, not just the software. The CPU must be equipped by card to connect to your telecommunication provider, and cards to connect to your desk phone. The cheapest for telco card is about US$500 for 8 analog line. In Indonesia, a small PBX, just need about 5 mill to have small pabx.

In my opinion, Asterisk is only usefull for Middle & above corporation. It is not suitable for start up and small/micro enterprise. The cost will also increase if you count training, setup, & maintenance cost. But it is still a good option to have such a complete solution for your office.


Solution is sound by bos_asep.

Review : Audio System

Eventhough done in the same date as Mega Bazaar, this is not about Jakarta Audio - Video Exhibition (JAVE).

I take a look on many speaker, sound system, & audio entertainment system.

On personal devices, many devices looks like iPod, is coming up here. MP3/MP4 player can be easily get. I bought one too.

MP4 player could cost 500.000,- each for 1,8" screen. Compared to 1,5" about Rp 385.000,- Very interesting price. On 1,8", you could get 128x128 pixel screen size. Meanwhile 1.5" will about 96x96. A converter can be easily get. The format is is AMV format. You could only convert from MPG/AVI. VOB tested is always error.

Bluetooth technology also comes to this segment market to enhance personal sound experience.

Other product such as speaker, headset, and many more, is not different.

Please enjoy..

Review : Software Products

Last mega bazaar is a bit shocking.
Why ? Cause there is almost none software vendor from foreign company. So, it is a very clear sign that they don't consider our market as an important one. This is also give a clear signal, that they are not care about war against piracy.

Even if i'm against piracy, but without support, in the next one year, pirated CD stores with its CDs will come back, and will open more store across Indonesia.

Only one stand offer Genuine Software, it is SoftwareAsli.com. Some of Indonesia company also offer business solution software. Its a good sign that our national product will thrive and fight back in local competition. Also, we hope that our software could survive in regional software market.

SoftwareAsli, offer many products. M Office, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Office 2003/2007, windows 2003 server, Adobe & Macromedia, and antivirus software (such as McAfee, Norton, Norman, & Kaspersky).

How about their price..?
Compared to Bhinneka, their price is a bit cheaper. On quick check, you could get about $3 lower than Bhineka. Just check for your self.

Good luck

Books : The Challenge - Robert G. Allen

But because I failed to get that job, I was forced to look in a different direction, to take a road less traveled. And where has it led me ? To a life of financial freedom. Today, I earn more and work less than even the president of Procter & Gamble, and I wouldn't consider trading places with him for the world.

You see, sometimes God answes prayers by closing doors, not by opening them. And not till years later do we see the wisdom of our failures - when the fruits of our failures become evident. We have to learn to defer judgment until the final verdict. You must learn to see good in every setback. If you do, your failures will not be so painful. Failure, in fact, will no longer be failure, only feedback. (The Challenge - Robert G. Allen)
